“My home is still surrounded by the military- under house arrest. In Kayunga, #DictatorMuseveni showed up surrounded by military trucks. In Kampala, there’s heavy deployment too. The illegitimate regime fears the people. The PEOPLE will eventually win.”
The military showed up at his home yesterday after learning about his trip to Kayunga. Apparently, according to the RDC, Bobi Wine was not scheduled to go to Kayunga yesterday because the Head of State was there too.
Though Bobi Wine claims he informed those concerned early, the RDC said Bobi was given all other options aside from yesterday.
Well, the President went ahead to campaign for his candidate yesterday as Bobi was under house arrest. The president advised Kayunga residents to vote for NRM if they want to be worked on with ease.
He said there is no way he can do much when the LCV is not NRM.
“I can’t do much when the LCV is not NRM. How will I know the roads that need to be built? That needs to be brought to my attention by NRM MPs and LCV,” President Museveni said.
Elections are to take place tomorrow as earlier scheduled by Electoral Commission. This only means Bobi Wine may not get the chance to campaign for his candidate if the military is not out sooner than a few minutes from now.
These campaigns are power-packed by a lot of drama from all corners but tomorrow will bring an end to it.

![[dropcap]A[/dropcap] section of women in Bugongo parish and Nawangaiza parish in Nawandala Sub County, Iganga District have decried the near-impossible terms set for them to access GROW funds. They have now petitioned their woman member of parliament for Iganga Hon. Kauma Sauda Alibaawo to ask the government for revised terms and conditions. This is to enable them to benefit from the program. The disgruntled women accuse the implementers of the program of charging the money. They are also asking for their land titles and land agreements. They said that such properties are governed by their husbands. These, therefore want the government through their woman MP to intervene and revise the requirements for one to benefit. The women were on Wednesday at Namabwere primary school in Nawandala Sub County. They had gathered in their respective groups to receive over 300 chickens from Hon Alibaawo in her campaign to improve the livelihood of women in Iganga district. Each group was given 50 chicken as start-up capital in their journey to prosperity. Read what some leaders said; Ms Naigambi Lydia from Nawandala Trading Centre says, “They solicited money from us through opening bank accounts and depositing Shs80,000. They also asked for land titles and land agreements from us yet we don’t have such things. I was informed that I needed to have a business with a capital of Shs4m yet my capital was very small.” The chairperson Kisoboka Saving Group in Nawandala Ms. Nakagolo Faith said they were not able to join the program. This is given the many conditions attached. She also asked their woman MP to raise their concerns to the relevant offices. The MP condemned the mode of implementation of the program. She cited that it has turned to benefit the well-off class of women other than the intended group. She further asked the government to intervene saying the current strings attached to the programme are very tight to accommodate a common woman. GROW project is a Government of Uganda initiative that arose out of the need to respond to the needs of women entrepreneurs. This is especially those who want to grow their businesses, sustain their self-employment and create more jobs.
